Biomechanical comparison of 3.0 mm headless compression screw and 3.5 mm cortical bone screw in a canine humeral condylar fracture model.

Objective: To compare the biomechanical properties of simulated humeral condylar fractures reduced with one of two screw fixation methods: 3.0 mm headless compression screw (HCS) or 3.5 mm cortical bone screw (CBS) placed in lag fashion.

Treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in small dogs with micro total hip replacement.

Objectives: To evaluate clinical outcome of small dogs with avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head treated with Micro total hip replacement (THR).

Study Design: Nonrandomized, retrospective efficacy case series.

Animals: Dogs (n = 7; 7 hips) that had Micro THR.

Total hip replacement as a treatment option for capital physeal fractures in dogs and cats.

Objectives: To evaluate outcome of capital physeal fractures (CPFs) treated by total hip replacement (THR) in dogs and cats.

Study Design: Retrospective phase II nonrandomized efficacy study.

Animals: Dogs (n = 21), cats (n = 4).
